Now, say good bye to 'bed-wetting' with this treatment

You no longer have to suffer from bed-wetting, thanks to repetitive sacral root magnetic stimulation (rSMS) which will improve the quality-of-life for sufferers.

The new study conducted by researchers at the Assiut University Hospital, Assiut, Egypt, divided the 41 patients experiencing nocturnal enuresis were into two groups who received either real magnetic stimulation or a sham stimulation using the same equipment and procedures. Each participant received 10 sessions, five per week.

Eman M. Khedr, MD, Professor, Department of Neurology said that it seems likely that rSMS produced some of its effect in the present patients by a direct effect on bladder control.

The researchers found that the average number of weekly nocturnal bedwetting episodes fell from 5.7 to 0.3 per week after the end of the treatment sessions for the real group compared to 6.5 to 1.8 per week after sham stimulation.

The treatment have resulted in significant improvements in the mental health scores including social functioning, vitality, mental health, and health summation in the real group compared to the sham group.

The study is published in the journal Restorative Neurology and Neuroscience journal.
